The haggis that keeps on giving

The idea to throw a BBQ for any occasion is not a very original nor unfamiliar motion for a pair of Australians, and to have 2 ‘special’ calendar events in sequence doubles the chances for proceeding.

Lunch Log: Week 22 Day 2

Festival food is typically bad, so I came prepared.. But this time I didn’t really have to. Wow, there was cider at this stage!
